Re: [9fans] @{cd ...} breaks completion with ctrl-f/ins; help needed

["andrey mirtchovski" <mirtchovski@gmail.com>]

the bug is within rio, which keeps track of changed directories but
doesn't know that some of them are changed on a stack for a child
process. the actual code is in xfid.c:^xfidwrite, the Qwdir case. what
is happening is that it catches the 'cd /lib' correctly and sets
w->dir accordingly, however the subsequent 'cd .' is interpreted as a
local unrooted path (doesn't start with '/') and the dot is appended
to the current w->dir. cleanname() subsequently just remove the dot,
leaving the old w->dir to be supplied to 'complete'.

two solutions:
- use getpw() instead of w->dir for unrooted arguments to cd (the
return value of getpw() is correct after the subshell command
completes)
- use 'cd `{pwd}' instead of 'cd .'... this will give a rooted
argument to 'cd' and rio will reset the whole w->dir
